Your great-aunt's son is your mother's first cousin and your first cousin once removed.

His son would be your second cousin, and his grandson is your second cousin once removed.

The fact that he was illegitimate makes no difference to the relationship.

It would be the same relationship as if she was married.

You would be first cousin once removed to the son and his grandson would be your second cousin once removed.
